Stacie came to me a couple years ago. She struggled with chronic fatigue - for years now, the better part of a decade actually. She felt like she was at the end of her rope.
She was also concerned about how she had began to age faster.
I explained something to her that she still quotes back to me now:
"Aging and fatigue are related." and "Chronic fatigue prematurely ages you." In fact, it is premature aging.
What actually makes hair turn grey and white?
I always say, "Think of your hair as an indication, and indicator, a warning sign because however nice your hair is now, from an evolutionary perspective, you can view it as a gauge on the dashboard of your health. That is likely a large part of why it was put there on your head.

The #1 Reason Most People Avoid Meditation, How to overcome it, and How to finally enjoy it
